In 1996, toy company Trendmasters made a line of action figures and toys to tie into Roland Emmerich’s Independence Day film. The ID4 toys all came packed with 3.5” floppy disks. There were eleven in total, and these are all compiled here.
I spent three years tracking these floppies down. The images in this archive were imaged from my own floppy disks, which I bought between 2017 and 2021.
The eleven Mission Disks are as follows:- Mission Disk 1 - Supreme Commander
- Mission Disk 2 - Science Officer
- Mission Disk 3 - Warrior
- Mission Disk 4 - Navigator
- Mission Disk 5 - Steve Hiller
- Mission Disk 6 - Dave's Computer
- Mission Disk 7 - President Whitmore
- Mission Disk 8 - Attack Fighter
- Mission Disk 9 - FA-18 Fighter Jet
- Mission Disk 10 - Bomber
- Mission Disk 11 - Area 51
The PC version system requirements are:- Running MS Windows 3.1 or better
- An i386 or faster CPU
- At least 4M of RAM free
- 1.5M of hard drive space
- Color monitor set 256 colors
- Standard mouse
- 13" monitor or larger (640 X480 pixels)
- A machine with 3.5" disk drive
- A sound card for full impact audio
The files are available as .IMA files. These can be mounted to a virtual drive, in a virtual machine or burned to a physical floppy with the right software.
